Topic Selection

In fall 2011, the QEP Topic Selection Committee will engage in a dual process. We will reach out to the Longwood community through presentations at meetings and in other ways, leading to a late-semester invitation to students, faculty, staff, alumni, and others to offer their ideas for the best QEP topic for Longwood. At the same time, we will review university assessment that focuses on learning outcomes and the environment supporting student learning in order to identify "key issues" at Longwood that the QEP could address.

In spring 2012, the Committee will review and focus the suggestions we receive, research and narrow possible themes, present and seek feedback on a limited number of these possible themes, and finally propose two or three themes to the SACSCOC Leadership Team, which is responsible for choosing Longwood's QEP topic.
